Method of assessment
This module will be assessed through a 3,000 words individual assignment in report format
that covers the learning outcomes. The assessment method helps to develop your capacity
to be an independent and autonomous learner. Specifically, the assessment is designed to
expand your knowledge and expertise relating to the theory and practice of international
marketing.
On successful completion of the module, you are required to produce an international
marketing plan for a foreign brand entering the Hong Kong market.
Formative feedback will be provided to you during seminar and tutorial sessions by the tutors.  

A term paper on a specific Labor Relations (Union-Employer Relations) Topic is REQUIRED for this course. 
The paper is to be posted as a Word Document attachment in the
Term Paper Forum on Blackboard on Monday,
Monday, May 6, 2024. Unauthorized,
late submissions will not be accepted. 
The term paper is a research paper which
focuses on a “Labor Relations (Union-Employer Relations)”
topic.  The term paper MUST NOT be treated as a
creative writing assignment. Your emphasis should be on facts,
information, and evidence that involve Labor Relations (Union-Employer
Relations).
The term paper MUST
include a brief summary (outline) of issues in your paper which
also pertains to the topic and concepts expressed in your textbook. (The outline is similar to an
executive summary, which should be located at the beginning of the term
paper.)
The term paper must be typewritten, and where appropriate, MUST
contain reference sources, endnotes and a bibliography. (References, bibliographies,
etc.  are separate and do not count
toward your page requirements) The term paper MUST be a minimum
of 4 full pages and a maximum of
5 pages in length, double
spaced (multiple
spaces between lines will adversely affect the grade of your paper), and must
have 11-12” font (larger fonts will adversely affect your grade). Also,
headings must not take up substantial sections of the page.  Again, the reference / bibliography page is separate
and does not count as a part of the 4-5 page paper.
A list of approved topics are provided below.  Topics MUST be cleared with me first.  To do so, students MUST enter the topic request in the
assigned discussion forum on Blackboard by April, 8th indicating the topic of choice. Once
approved, students may begin working on the assignment. E-mail requests
for topic approvals will be ignored. So please submit your requests on in
the appropriate forum on Blackboard.
To successfully complete the assignment, conduct research on the
topic and report on your findings. 
In so doing, include key points from your textbook.  Do not use your textbook as your only
source of information. Provide an analysis of the subject matter
where necessary, make Labor Relations-related recommendations etc. I am looking for your analysis of the research findings and am
interested in your demonstrating what you have learned rather than your
repeating information found on the internet. All paraphrases or quotations
must be accompanied by in-paragraph citations and a bibliography/reference
list. Quoted and paraphrased material are to be used sparingly. See
syllabus for guidelines on the use of quoted material. Avoid
“over-quoting” or excessive use of others’ material with quotation marks
around it. Use your own words!
All responses to the term projects requirements are to be written
thoroughly with complete sentences and appropriate English mechanics. Do not use bullet points, graphs,
charts or pictures! Express thoughts clearly in paragraph format.
Be descriptive and provide details and thorough explanations. Also, pay
attention to grammar, spelling, syntax, organization of ideas, etc.

SOME READINGS;
An international strategy is usually the first approach most businesses take with global expansion: exporting or importing goods and services while maintaining a head office or offices in their home country. Global expansion as a business does not have a one-size-fits-all approach. As companies grow and scale, they may choose to invest more in their target markets.
One of the biggest challenges for international businesses is driving demand and awareness in local markets. Due to the fact these businesses are less embedded in local customs or languages, it can be difficult to know how to appeal to these consumers. That is the reason the most successful international businesses invest heavily in marketing, rather than infrastructure, so they can scale without needing to be on the ground in a foreign market. With a centralized model, headquarters maintains tight control of product and branding, making it easy for one consistent message across multiple countries. As businesses expand internationally a strong localization strategy ensures that the business’ message and marketing sounds is the same across multiple markets, regardless of language this concept makes international marketing powerful.
Globalization continues to influence world economies, as reduced tariffs, enhanced communications, and increased capital mobility have allowed companies to connect to global financial markets and expand their businesses internationally. However, successful expansion into new foreign markets demands that companies adopt international business strategies that best fit their needs and capabilities. International business involves dealing with foreign stakeholders, employees, consumers, and governments, and therefore, business managers need to consider many factors when conducting business in global markets, such as competition, supply chain management and pricing strategy. In order to successfully expand their consumer base and increase profitability through internationalization, companies need to spend the necessary time and resources to understand global market opportunities and choose the proper international business strategies.

Introduction (+please consider and read attachment)
Each student must submit
individual assignment related to developing competences in preparation,
processing, editing and publication of scientific paper. The submission is
actually draft of a research paper. The topic must be within the area of
project or program or portfolio management. It is recommended to use it as part
of search for a topic for a your dissertation.
The
objective
The
objective with this draft of research paper is learning about scientific
publishing environment, selecting the actual and relevant topic for a
scientific paper, defining components of a scientific paper, structuring a
paper as whole, so as understanding how to deal with journal editor and
reviewer. It demonstrates student ability and competences to become effective
author of paper for publishing at the scientific conference or scientific
journal. Moreover, it is part of process in searching for the topic for the
doctoral thesis.
The student is advised to
apply the knowledge gathered during previous courses in the first semester of
the study (quantitative and qualitative methods, research design and
methodology, project & program & portfolio management), so as previous
learnings gathered during own career.
The topic
Name:
„The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Project Managment“
The
paper must be related to the topics within the area of project, program and
portfolio management. It is practical if paper could be tied to the future

specific down-sized problem or piece of problem or some aspect of problem,
which represent a piece of unknown. The topic of the paper could be related to
(a few examples):
•                    
The
narrow-size problem observed in practice, where practice has not clear solution
or have dilemmas about meaning, how to approach
•

objective of your study represented by research question and 2-3 sub-questions,
research methods you will use in the study, which scientific theory you are
using, what is the main contribution from your paper, main limitations and
assumptions of your research.
While
dealing with potential topic you must decide if selected topic reflects macro,
mezzo or micro problem within the project / program / portfolio management. At
this step, a micro perspective might be better choice. Topic must be actual,
specific, narrow enough, clear and feasible for your study.
Front section is usually
about the problem and short literature review. While presenting results from
your study, please put them in the context of previous researches done about
the same topic. Emphasize the findings and original contribution coming from

components: Title, key words, abstract, introduction, state of the art –
previous related researches, research gap description, purpose, research
questions / hypothesis, body text with qualitative and quantitative part, research
method, results, conclusions, discussion, limitations of the research
recommendation for further research, references at the end. Graphs, photos,
tables are important parts, incorporated in the text.
